"The Caps are in a bit of a rough patch at the moment, with the offense in particular struggling. While they did finally get something on the board tonight, it was just a lone goal - not good enough when you give up two, and certainly not good enough against a tired Isles team in the middle of a losing skid. Now their own streak goes to three losses, with just two goals in those three games."
"Plus: The Caps went over 100 minutes without a goal before Tom Wilson finally ended that stretch, a continuation of what has been a very strong start for #43. Minus: Late in the first period, a frame the Caps dominated, Pierre-Luc Dubois appeared to have suffered an injury off a faceoff and left the ice. He would not return, putting the Caps down their top two centers with Dylan Strome still out...and that's not great."
The Capitals lost 3-1 to the Islanders, extending their losing streak to three games with only two goals scored across those contests. Tom Wilson ended a stretch of over 100 scoreless minutes with a goal, continuing a strong individual start to his season. Pierre-Luc Dubois left late in the first period with an apparent injury and did not return, leaving the team without its top two centers while Dylan Strome remains out. Anthony Beauvillier came close to scoring multiple times and earned an honorable mention. Offensive struggles and injuries have combined to create a rough patch for the team.
